Their games Rock Band, Half Life 2: Orange Box, Crysis and Hellgate: London helped the publishers imprint hit record sales levels.
The publisher yesterday said the MTV-funded Rock Band had sold 1.5m copies in North America.
Net revenue for the third quarter was $1.503 billion, up 17
percent as compared with $1.281 billion for the prior year.
